Updates and 52 week project

I just had a realization that I left y'all hanging a little bit on our
last post. We took Caden to the doctor and discovered that he just had a
stomach bug, which was unrelated to his pneumonia. After washing
mountains of laundry and being thrown up many times, Caden is finally
back to his cheerful self and seems to be feeling normal. Thankfully, he
has even started eating ravenously, which he has never done before. Now
if we can just convince him to eat his vegetables. Thank you to
everyone for your prayers! We will take Caden to the cardiologist again
in a few weeks, and I will keep you posted on what they tell us then.

As far as the rest of life goes around here, we continue to have a
full house. In fact, things just keep getting fuller as the basketball
team boys have realized one of their friends is living with us here,
making our house a much cooler place to hang out. Although sometimes I
like to pretend it's because I'M the cool one that they keep coming
over.

(These pictures of my big girl sort of take my breath away. She is so beautiful and sweet and such a treasure. Sigh, now if she would only stop growing up so fast!)

In other news: we have a few weeks left of basketball games, our church just started a youth group (which our boys are over-the-moon excited about), and we have completed two mentor trainings, and are working on getting everyone matched up and ready to go.

We SO appreciate all of your prayers and love and encouragement and support. Y'all are the best. For realz.
